"A body badly burned by alcohol does not often recover overnight nor do twisted thinking and depression vanish in a twinkling. We are convinced that a spiritual mode of living is a most powerful health restorative." - Alcoholics Anonymous, 3rd Edition, 1976, Ch 9, p 133.
Today, grant me patience to recover in the time that is needed to overcome the years of physical, emotional and spiritual torture to which I subjected my entire being with alcohol. The words of the Big Book offer comfort that the spiritual remedy we need - if we apply it honestly and with diligence - will restore us to some level of physical, emotional and spiritual wellness and sanity. In my impatience bred of my addiction, let me remember that I am, by nature, hungry for everything now but that not even that impatience can rush the speed of recovery. Today, I take it One Day at a Time. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2014
